PEER TO PEER REMOTE CONTROL METHOD BETWEEN ONE OR MORE MOBILE DEVICES - Described herein is a method for providing peer to peer remote control management between a helper and a beneficiary mobile device. The method includes registering, by the helper and beneficiary mobile devices, with a secure server. The helper mobile device authenticates with the secure server. The helper or the beneficiary mobile device perform discovery with respect to the other device. A trust relationship is established between the helper and beneficiary mobile devices by performing mutual authentication. An auto connection discovery process is performed to determine if the helper and the beneficiary mobile devices are on a same sub network. A peer to peer connection is established between the helper and the beneficiary mobile devices if the helper and the beneficiary mobile devices are on the same sub network and a secure server mediates between the helper and the beneficiary mobile devices if they are on different sub networks.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTERACTIVE MOBILE DEVICE GUIDANCE - Described herein are a method and system that has the capability to remotely instruct and guide end users of mobile devices to navigate through its various functions and configurations. The system comprises a repository, a control center, and an intelligent client on the mobile device, where the control center and mobile device operate in a client-server relationship and are in communication during a help session. An administrator uses the system to create step by step navigational instructions called story boards and reference device navigational maps which are uploaded to a repository. The control center pulls the relevant story boards and device navigation maps from the repository and uses it to remotely and interactively direct the end user of the mobile device to navigate through its various applications and functions. An intelligent client on the mobile device is used for assistance in this process, which in turn reports the end user progress back to the control center.

DASHBOARD NOTIFICATIONS ON MANAGEMENT CONSOLE DURING A REMOTE CONTROL SESSION - Disclosed is a web-based dashboard notification application for real-time presentation and remote management of mobile devices connected to a management console. A method for providing dashboard notifications during a remote control session includes establishing a remote control session between a management console and a mobile device. The management console requests device information and sends the device information to a dashboard execution service. A dashboard model is requested based on the device information, where the dashboard model is a set of workflows. A set of workflows is executed on the device information to verify the device information against predetermined values. The output data model is bound to a view to create a dashboard notification, which is displayed on the management console. The dashboard notification is a visual representation of a health of the mobile device.
